The Occupation of ITlanchuria by Hie Kt.**lHll* !» *uld 10 lie llrunnli'd b) ICnglioli statesmen ah HuiiKeruim to lln* (Idler Fo»vpr». London, March 9. — A crisis has arisen in far eastern affairs, which, in flic (•pinion of the British govern ment, is graver almost than the troubles which originally turned the eyes of the world toward the Orient. In this crisis negotiations are going on between the I'nited States and Great Britain with a view to thwart ing' what both governments appear to consider a determined attempt 011 the part of liussia to plant herself permanently in one of the richest tracts of the Chinese empire. The conference held Wednesday be tween l : nited States Ambassador < hoate and Lord Lansdowne, the foreign secretary, had nothing to do with the Xiearaguan canal affair. To cp.iote from a British official, "the Nicaragua controversy is a minor matter compared with the present situation." What Mr. ('hoate did was to receive from Lord Lansdowne an important message declaring that Great Britain was not satisfied with Russia's declaration regarding Man churia. as delivered to Sir Charles iScott, British ambassador at St. Pet ersburg-. by Count Latnsdorf, and ask ing the I'nited States if it is prepared to take joint action of such a decisive nature that Russia would have no alternative but to recede from her position. Almost simultaneously the United States government instructed its vari ous ambassadors to take similar steps. The answer of Secretary Hay has apparently not yet been received in London, although the fact that al most concurrent instructions were is sued from Washington is taken here to be a sufficient guarantee that Rus sia's action in Manchuria ■will not be tolerated by the I'nited States. Japan is relied upon to take a line in harmony with the United States and Great Britain. Germany, in spite of the Anglo-Ger man compact, is regarded as rather doubtful, owing to Emperor William's friendship for the czar. France, of course, will side with her ally. The significance of the present phase can only be appreciated by those cognizant of the hitherto leth argic attitude of the British govern ment regarding Russian action in China. Within the last few days all this has changed. What a week or two ago was pronounced only in line with Russia's usual policy is now termed "a grave and serious state of affairs." Lord Lansdowne is using- every ef fort to bring the powers into line, in order to present to Russia such a menacing front that, without any ambiguity regarding temporary or other occupation, she may give up all designs upon Manchuria. What prompts the British foreign office to take such an alarmist view of circumstances usually looked upon as fatalistic sequences, is the appre hension that having held her own in spite of the protest of the ministers of the powers to the Chi nese government, and having put her self on record as determined on at least a temporary occupation of Man churia. will refuse to "back down. That she must do so Lord Lans downe considers vital both for the future of China and for the contin ued existence of the concert of pow ers. A feeling pervades inner circles here that if Count Lamsdorf's expla nation is accepted by the powers, Russia will be accorded a free hand to take all she pleases, and the door will be opened to aii,v other power aggressive enough to step in and an nex Chinese provinces, under the pretext of temporary occupation. Berlin, March !>.—The German press believes that Russia's assuran ces regarding Manchuria to Sir Charles Scott are insincere and in tended to blind the world. The National Zeitung frankly as serts that this 1s their object. "Emperor Kwang Su opposes the Russo-C'hinese agreement as to Man churia,"' says the I'ekin correspon dent, of the Daily Express, "and has instructed Li Hung Chang to refer Russia to the other powers." Liu Kun Yi, the viceroy of Nankin, has appealed to Great Britain, Japan and the 1 nited States, according to the Shanghai correspondent, of the Daily Express, to assist China to re sist Russia's designs in Manchuria. Heath or a .l|I«*ourl Croenuh St. Joseph, Mo., March o.—William Wyeth, for .JO years one of the most prominent promoters and manufac turers of the stat.e, died at his home here Friday. He was many times a millionaire. A Hlot at San Juan. San Juan, P. R., March 9.—A riot occurred here Thursday. At 6p. m. five artillerymen and a corporal of artillery, named Hiseoek, left their guard post without orders and charged across the plaza into a street in which a mob had assembled. The soldiers fired a volley into the air, dispersed the ;nob and rescued School Superintendent Armstrong, who was besieged by the mob in a house. For hours previous to the rescue of Arm strong - the city had been overrun by a riotous crowd of 1,500 persons, who nhouted "Down with the Americans" 4»nd other similar cries. HAWAII'S LEGISLATURE. Hold* It* Nc«»lonh In liic Conner Home of Kings null Fe»v of ll* .Tlnilhert Can Xn Ik lCngll*li. Honolulu, March 1, via San Fran cisco. March s. -The first territorial legislature of Hawaii began its ses sions in Honolulu, February 20, and has been in session since. J. A. Akina, independent, a Hawaii an-Chinese member from the island of Kauai, was elected speaker o f the house, and Nicholas Russell, of Hawaii, a white man, was chosen president of the senate. With both houses in control of the independent home rule party and containing a majority of native llawaiians, the legislature has al ready been the scene of some re markable proceedings and the end of the session promises to see many very radical measures adopted, among those to which the controlling party is committed being a liquor dis pensary law. a taxation system that will I>>» a combination of single ti\ and income tax doctrines, an election law based on proportionate represen tation, and a law excluding from the territory all persons who may arr've here afflicted with consumption or leprosy. The question of languages is an other source of trouble. The or ganic act says that all proceedings of the legislature shall be conducted in the English language. Half of the members cannot speak English, an.l Hawaiian interpreters have been em ployed in both houses. It is the opinion of some lawyers that this will invalidate all proceedings, and this matter will come before the courts when some laws have been passed. Chief Justice Frear and Gov. Dole, who were members - >f the commission that adopted the rule in question, have expressed the opinion that it intended to provide that no language but English should be spoken. The independents claim that laws and resolutions, etc., shall be in English. Every measure and every speech is being given in both English and Hawaiian. The house meets in the throne room of the old palace building, now occupied by government officials. The speaker's chair is the former throne of Hawaiian inonarchs. The steamship Zealandia has ar rived here with 709 Porto Ricans from Port Los Angeles. Three of the immigrants died on the way. The immigrants are being sent in steam ers to various plantations. It is re ported that the Zealandia is 10 make several trips as a carrier of Porto Ricans, ami that at least 5,000 more will be brought here by her in the near future. The Inter-Island Telegraph Co. has given formal notice of the opening for business of the wireless tele grphy system between Honolulu and the island of Maui. TWO DEAD, SEVEN INJURED. A Frightful Accident In mi Fleialor at .Tloline, 111. Occupant* .>lulined by Fulling Weight*. Moline, 111., March B.—Two men were killed and seven injured yester day by the fall of an elevator in the works of the Moline Plow Co. The dead: Arvid J.

The most seriously injured are: Herman Anderson, lift arm and el bow fractured; left hand crushed; amputated at wrist. John Apen, knee and ankle hurt. A. W. Brunstrom, left arm broken in four places and badly mangled. Gustav Moffstedt, left The accident occurred while the men were going to work. Twenty five workmen crowded upon the 9x12- foot platform. The elevator ascend ed a few feet when a drum gear gave way. letting the cage fall from the first story to the basement. The iron counterbalance weights shot up 1o the top of the shaft and four of tliein, each weighing 100 pounds, became disengaged by col lision with the framework of the shaft and crashed down four stories upon the men lwdow. One weight struck Burgston, crush ing his head and spattering his brains over the faces of his compan ions. Swan.on at the moment was engaged in a friendly scuffle with Burgston and was struck by another weight that injured him fatally. The elevator was warranted to carry 4,000 pounds. An inquest was held and a verdict was feturned ex onerating the [f!ow company. CONVICTED OF FORGERY. Circumntantlal Kvldence WUN Again*! a Long lftland Man. New York, March 8. —Chauneey F. Glover, a wealthy resident of Cutch oge. L. L.was yesterday found guilty in the supreme court of Suffolk coun ty on the charge of forging a will purporting to Tie that of her father. Glover was sentenced to four years and four months' imprisonment. He fc\! in a faint as the judge passed sentence upon him. The older (Ho ver died in 1890 and the son contest ed the will which was produced at that time. In 1900 Glover offered for probate as the will of his father a document which gave him practically all of his father's estate, the paper being dated 1890. The stationer who manufactured the paper on which the alleged will was written testified that the paper was not manufactured until 1897, and upon this evidence Glover was con vie *ed.

The glass is to be de livered in March and April, The or der is worth $2,000,000 CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1901. WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY. Ripert» ol Agricultural llc|»urlment <1 tiin to lla%e llevl*ed a Syitcni tliat I* Almost Perfect, Washington, March 8. —Since last autumn the navy department has sus pended the experiments in the em ployment of wireless telegraphy as a means of communication between naval vessels and between vessels and the shore. I'JI to this time none of the Warships have been equipped wiili a permanent plant. While it, may be true that Marconi, who is in the I'nited States, may, while here, communicate to the navy department some proposition looking to the in stallation of his own system of teleg raphy on our naval vessels, the navy department has not yet engaged him. Rear Admiral Bradford, the chief of the equipment bureau, which naturally would install any such means of communication, has had conferences with some of the most eminent electricians in the United States as to the availability of the wireless telegraph for naval use. but so fat - nothing like the ideal system has been found. The latest proposition lias been broached by the department of agri culture. Secretary Wilson, bearing that the navy was easting about for a serviceable system of telegraphy, | has written Admiral Bradford to notify him that the agricultural de partment has been experimenting for some time with wireless telegraphy and has attained remarkable results. His experts assert with the greatest, posit iveness that they have evolved a system radically different from Marconi's and of far greater effi ciency. For obvious reasons the de tails of the process are kept secret, but it is probable that within a short time a practical exhibition will be made 011 board of a naval vessel. The bureau of equipment has a considerable sum at its disposal to cover the expenses of installing all kinds of electrical appliances, aside from those connected with the me chanical department of flu- ship, and when Secretary Long gives the order a part of this will be spent in trying Secretary Wilson's experts' device. The outcome will be watched with the greatest interest by all naval men. particularly in view of the an nouncement that not only Great Brit ain but Germany and the other Euro ! pean maritime powers already have 1 ordered the installation of wireless j plants in their navies. REFUSED TO BE BRIBED. Navy lard Official* Cause tlic A ire it ol an Alleged ltl*lione»t Contractor. New York, March 8. —I>. C. Ander son. proprietor of the Jefferson brass works, of Brooklyn, was arrested j yesterday 011 an indictment handed down by the federal grand jury, charging him, on two counts, with at tempting to bribe officials at the Brooklyn navy yard to pass bills ren dered by him for goods not delivered. He was held in $7,500 bonds. The first indictment against Ander son charges him with having at tempted to bribe Lieut. Wilfred V. Powelson, who is in charge of the department of electrical equipment of the navy yard and a member of the board of inspection of that de partment. Anderson, it is alleged, made a specific order of $2,000 to Powelson if lie would audit and Cer tify a bill for goods and materials which Anderson never delivered. The second indictment is based upon similar testimony from A. .1. Porter, chief clerk of the department, Who alleges that Anderson placed on his desk an envelope containing a roll of bills, and which were rejected. Anderson holds a contract with the government for the supply of certain brass castings for use in the navy. In fulfilling this contract with the government it is alleged thjit }ie sought to secure payment for large quantities of goods through false vouchers and which he did not de liver. CONSERVATIVES WIN. Scored a Victory In tile Cuban Consti tutional Convention. Havana, March 8. —The Cuban con stitutional convention me* Thursday afternoon for a formal discussion o' the Piatt amendment. The conserv ative element, scored a victory. It was decided to continue the sessions of the convention and to refer the amendment to the special committee !on relations, with instructions to ' bring in a report. Gen. Sanguilly contended that the intention of the original call was an nulled by Gov. Gen. Wood's instruc tions at the opening of the conven tion, when delegates were asked to give only an opinion. The radical element did not flock to Sanguilly as had been expected, and the convention's action in refer ring the question to the special conj mittee on relations indicates a wil lingness to recede from the former attitude. It is evident that many of the delegates still hope the amend ment will be changed, but there is no bitter feeling now apparent. It is doubtful wlu 'ber the convention will ' ever agree to accept the amendments. It is generally believed that the crisis, if any existed, is passed and that by thfe 'me » : ie I'Miimlttee im ports the present excitement will have died out. A Will from Kngland. London, March B.—The Board of Trade Journal warns British manu facturers that the reports of a Brit ish commercial agent in the United States show that American boots and shoes are capturing markets where British goods ought to have a monop oly. Panned a Parole Bill. St. Paul, Minn., March 8.< —The house yesterday passed the Deming parole bill allowing prisoners sen tenced for life to be paroled after serving 30 years. The bill was in troduced in the interest of the Young er brothers, who are serving life sen tences for participation in the fa mous Nortlifield bank raid in Septem ber. 1576. The bill was amended so that it will require the written con sent of each member of the pardon board before a life prisoner can be paroled. This practically leaves the matter as it is at present. LIKE A TERRIRLE CYCLONE GRIP bacillus has passed over our country, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, leav ing behind it a dark cloud of anguish and despair. Catarrh follows grip as effect follows cause. A multitude of catarrh victims will spring up in the trail of the awful epidemic of grip that has just passed over our fair country. The hope to these people is Peruna. Most people know this already. Everyone who has had the least touch of grip, should not fail to take a course of treat ment with Peruna. Peruna eradicates every vestige of the dis ease and leaves the system in a normal con dition. Hon. Joseph B. Crowley. Congressman from Illinois, writes from the National Ho tel, Washington, D.

At those times I would be severely afflicted with la grippe and its unpleasant consequences. "Now for the past year and a half I have used Peruna in such cases and have found that it not only cures me quickly, but it also cleanses my blood and renders me less liable to catch cold.

In the fall I caught a cold after get ting my feet wet and attending a lecture i» a cold hall, and 1 suffered a relapse.

"One of my college friends who was vis iting me, asked me to try Peruna, and 1 did so and found it nil and more than 1 had ex pected.
